Conversation with a 7yr old daughter at the shoe store

Mom: You need some Spring sandals to wear to church, school and around.Daughter: These! (holding up a pair of strappy glitter gold ones with a one-inch heel)Mom: No, those would kill your feet and you are too young for heels.Daughter: Why?Mom: What about these white ones (leather, cushy, adjustable straps, secure).Daughter: Hm.Daughter: These! (holding up an almost identical pair of strappy, no cushion, foot killer shoes with one-inch heel, only in sparkly silver)Mom: Um, no, those are the same as the other ones.*Cell phone rings. Dad on phone from Hawaii to say hi to daughter.Daughter to Dad: Yes, we are at the shoe store. [listen] Yes, but Mom won't let me get any of the shoes I like.
